v LEGISLATURE BUSY IN LAST DAY RUSH Both Houses Pushing Measures in " Order to Finish Before Wednes- day Night. NORMAL SCHOOL BILL PASSED Went Through the Senate Yesterday Afternoon by Big Vote and is Sent to the Governor. CARE FOR DESERTED WIVES Campbell Act Forcing Deserting Hus- * bands to Work Accepted— New Minneapolis Depot. By United Press. . St. Paul, April 18.—The general normal school bill passed the senate Thursday afternoon by a vote of forty-four to five and now goes to the governor for his signature. The bill was brught up as a special order by Senator A. L. Hanson and was passed after a little discussion. An effort was made to have the bill amended so that the governor would apopint the committee instead of hay- ing it appointed by the governor, lieutenant governor and speaker the house but the amendment did not prevail. The large vote in favor of the bill came as a surprise as a few days ago, it had been considered- a dead issue in the senate. of Presidential Primaries. After having been- killed three times, Representative Earnest Lun- deen had ‘the Bitisfattion Thuis- day morning of seeing his pres- idential primary bill pass the senate without a single negative vote. The bill will now go to the govenor for signature and in as much as he recommended it is his message there is no question as to his affixing his official seal. Representative Lundeen introduced the bill the first time in 1911, It survived the committee but was kill- ed in the house. At the special ses- sion in 1912 he introduced it a sec- ond time. The committee did not even afford it a hearing but referred it back to its author. Mr. Lundeen immediately reintroduced the meas- ure with the statement that he was entitled to a hearing. He forced the committee to take the measure up again and once it was reported out and for a second time was laid away by its opponents in the house. This year legislative and public sentiment has undergone a great change. Presidential primaries have found popular favor. When Mr. Lundeen introduced his thrice defeat- ed bill it went through the house committee on elections with a rush, was acted favorably upon by the committee of the whole, and finally was given strong vote in the house. Coming to the senate it met the same favor-and was passed this morn- ing by a vote of 38 to 0. % Mr. Lundeen’s bill provided for the expression of the popular will for par- ty nomination for president and vice- president; for the nomination of presidential electors; the election of delegates and alternates to .national party conventions; the payment of their expenses and the election of national committeemen. Care for Deserted Wives. Rep. W. A. Cambell’s bill provid- ing for care of deserted wives, chil- dren or descendants, passed the house Thursday under suspension of the rules and will now go to the governor. The bill has already passed the senate after a slight amendment and was returned to the house which con- curred in the amendment. The bill is a companion measure to the mo- ther’s pensions bill and provides that where a husband or father is sen- tenced for desertion the county board may put him to work' and collect whatever salary is due and turn the money over to the wife for her main- tainance. “Road House” Bill Hurt. At the request of D. P. O'Neill of Thief River Falls the house refused to concur_in the senate amendments to his anti-road house bill and a con- ference committee will be appointed. The senate amended the bill so county board could grant liquor 1li- censes whien requested by town boards.

Representative W. S. Stone’s bill authorizing the state to acquire land in Itasca State park not-now owned by the state, was passed in the house Wednesday. The bill provides for an issue of certificate of indebtedness in the sum of $250,000, to be spread over five years, It is intended to obtain for the state all of the land in Itasca State park owned by Fredrick Weyerhaeuser, T. B. Walker and others. " More Associate Justices. The senate passed Rep. C. N. Orr’s bill providing for a constitutional amendment increasing the number of associate justices of the supreme court from four to six and providing that no statutes shall be held un- constitutional by 1less than five judges. Depot for Minneapolis. The house today under suspension | of the rules passed the senate bill to enable Minneapolis to draw plans to construct union railway passenger stations. The bill has the endorse- ment of the Minneapolis Civic and Commerce Association shall appoint three commissioners who shall draw plans for a union depot and submit such plans to the railroad and ware- house commission for their approval. If the plans are approved all railroad companies shall be required to run their passenger trains into such sta- tion and the railway company may be charged six per cent. on their gross earnings to pay for the pro- ject. The bill applies to Minneapolis only. It has already passed the sen- ate. Citizens of Nebish have concluded to build a town hall and one will be erected on a lot in the village of Ne- bish. The cost of the lot and build- ing will be about $1,000. The first farmer’s meeting of the season will be held in Nebish Satur- day. afternoon.

WAS A SENATE APPOINTMENT T ; Charles 8. Thomas Scored and Colo- ‘rado’s Female Voters Will Out- Roosevelt Teddy. “NO MORE LEMONS,” IS THE CRY Claim They Have Elected Candidates and Been Thrown a Sop—Will Rule the World. By United Press. Denver, April 18.—Because United States Senator Charles S. Thomas, in - i as secretary of the national suffrage = committee of the United States sen- rate, and chose a mere man instead, the women of Colorado are planning to out-Roosevelt Roosevelt and start a new party composed exclusively of ‘women. Declaring that they have been made the recipients of nothing but = lemons in the history of their long service to the Republican and Demo- cratic parties, the Colorado Equal Suffrage ' association, composed -of: some of the most representative wom- en.of the state, is determined to “se- cede.” The appointment by Senator Thomas of George Lang, an employe of the state department, to the secre- taryship of the suffrage committee, is the last straw. “Senator Thomas was elected by the women of Colorado,” declared one in- gnant.suftrage leader today. “With- out our loyalty he would have been gathered to oblivion long ago. _ “The ‘position of secretary of the i senate suffrage committee is.one for which a large number of women are eminently fitted by education and ex- perience to fill. And for a Colorado senator to have recognized the women by such an appointment would have meant a definite and effective recom- mendation of the suffrage cause. “Time and again the women have fought in the Democratic party and wrested the banners of victory from the enemy when the enemy had the men running and had started to dance a saraband of triumph. And now the women are going to put forth the . challenge: ‘No more lemons.’ ” To make that challenge effective, if * possible, the Colorado Suffrage asso- clation leaders are planning to make a demonstration of strength during the coming campaign in Denver for city commissionerships. It is planned to organize in Denver at least, a new party, composed exclusively of wom- en' and devoted exclusively to the in- terests of the women. Standing to- gether for a common caues, the wom- en believe that they can overwhelm the mere male voters and just about dictate political affairs. The leaders of the movement pro- pose that the women, united, shall serve notice to the world that here- after they will vote only for women. To this end it is proposed during the - coming campaign to hold a parade 2 of women and to invite participation in it by women’s political organiza- tions from all sections of Colorado. Such a parade would bring the dis- play of numerous transparencies - 2 setting forth the virtues of women, demanding for a woman important political -offices and urging the wom- en voters not to vote for men unden any circumstances. Plans to organize a strictly wom- an’s party have been tried a number of times in the past; but have never succeeded. The backers of the pres- ent movement ‘declared today that never before has such a movement been accompanied - by the militant spirit which they hope to inject into it this time. For ‘that reason they think it may be a success. e e R S R R R R x EAST SIDE. x* ,Ci*iifiifii!!ll*lii Feels like summer. Fred Radi will build an addition to his house soon as “jack frost” leaves.
